Washington
(ANI):
Sylvester
Stallone
is
back
in
action
in
his
next
movie
'The
Expendables" and
he
is
proud
of
it
for
a
very
different
reason
this
time.
The
action
thriller
is
about
a
team
of
highly
trained
–
and
very
dangerous
–
mercenaries
who
are
sent
to
South
America
to
overthrow
a
ruthless
dictator.
“I
thought
we
had
the
ugliest
group
of
guys
on
the
planet
in
one
movie.
That
is
what
I
am
so
proud
of.
We
all
look
like
horseshoes
or
catchers
mitts," Fox
News
quoted
Stallone
as
saying.
People
go,
'wow,
that
is
a
sexy
group
of
guys,""
he
joked.
“And
I
say,
'excuse
me,
you"re
talking
about
the
“Twilight"
team,
not
us.""
“The
Expendables,"
co-written
and
directed
by
Stallone
stars
the
biggest
names
in
action
from
the
past
two
decades,
including
Dolph
Lundgren,
Jet
Li,
Mickey
Rourke,
Steve
Austin
and
Bruce
Willis.
But
Mickey
Rourke
takes
Stallone"s
insults
lightly.
“He
is
very
competitive,"
Rourke
explains
of
his
director
and
co-star.
“He
is
competitive
[even]
with
himself.
He
keeps
challenging
himself
and
reinventing
himself.
I
think
that
is
something
you
have
to
do
if
you
want
to
survive
[and]
have
longevity."
